Computer Vision Kinematic Pipeline Architecture
Deep Skeleton Tracking
Utilizing convolutional pose-estimation backbones to track 17 anatomical keypoints (shoulders, hips, knees, ankles, skates) frame-by-frame directly from standard 60fps HD broadcast feeds without requiring physical body markers.
3D Rink Metric Calibration
Transforming 2D camera pixel trajectories into calibrated 3D ice-rink metric coordinates ($X, Y, Z$) using ISU ice mark homography matrices and camera pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) auto-calibration routines.
GOE & Quality Correlations
Computing physical trajectory derivatives (velocity, launch clearance, angular acceleration) to correlate objective jump height and ice coverage metrics directly with judge Grade of Execution (GOE) awards.
